Sign Spotting
May 25, 2023 - May 31, 2024When is the last time you slowed down and looked at all the signs around you? Do you think about who put them up? And why? Whether lit from within, glitzy with gold or hoisted up high, signs communicate. Signs are also location-specific, providing information within a defined space.
Come and explore our newest exhibition, Sign Spotting, which takes visitors on a fascinating journey through Richmond’s history of signage. From vintage neon signs to public facility signs from the Jim Crow era to local advocacy signs, this exhibition explores how iconic Richmond signage has been used to inform, advertise, and persuade.
Enjoy free admission to the Valentine on Saturday, May 27th in honor of Sign Spotting.
